Sweetheart

from Room With A VU, Vol. 1 by Speedfossil

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Room With A VU, Vol. 1, is the first in a series of EPs that will feature songs all recorded in the same studio with the same engineer/producer. Available on limited edition Compact Disc. The concept was to present the songs to the band, work quickly to put them together and get demos to the producer/engineer-then record them all in a short period in one specific studio. Vol. 2 is slated for sometime in the Fall of 2024 (and the complete sessions, Vol 1.and Vol. 2 to be released on a vinyl LP in late 2024). Over 5 separate days in 2023, Garret worked with David Minehan (The Neighborhoods, The Replacements, Dink Pinkerman) at his Woolly Mammoth studio to record and mix the 5 songs. Originally slated to be released in September 2023 on Boston’s Red on Red Records, plans tragically changed in June 2023 when label founder, Justine Covault, died suddenly at the age of 59. Garret was devastated to lose a friend, colleague, mentor and a musical home. After entertaining a couple of offers from other labels, Garret decided to release Room With A VU, Vol. 1 on the new Sonic Escort imprint, a full length label collective out of Boston. Whether its upbeat rockers like, “Sweetheart”, featuring a guest vocal appearance from Linda Bean Pardee of The Chelsea Curve, the throwback Roy Orbison-esque “Frozen Drops of Fire”, or the horn laden “irl”, the EP really showcases Garret’s songwriting chops, as well as the production prowess and sonic power of Minehan and his Woolly Mammoth studio. As one astute listener stated, “this EP is definitely next level!”. Speedfossil will once again be supporting Room With A VU, Vol. 1, with shows throughout the Northeast for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.

about

Speedfossil with Linda Bean from The Chelsea Curve

lyrics

“Sweetheart”
I finally see the forest for the trees, after years of living down on my knees,
I’ll tell you what it’s all about, come into my world, baby help me figure it out

I’ve got a lot of things to say, after years of being away.
It was just my mind, it was not me. Step into my world, baby come and set me free.

And it could be better, so much better, so much better than it was before.
And we could be happy, if you could love me. Please just open up that door.

Please, my sweetheart. Please, my sweetheart. Please, my sweetheart. Please my sweetheart.
